Please inquire (206-598-4488) about karyotype analyses in species other than mouse, rat, or rhesus monkey.

Test types

Available testing options include:

G-banded chromosome analysis or karyotyping detects imbalances in the genome (aneuploidy, deletions, or duplications) at low resolution. This test can detect balanced rearrangements and distinguish free from translocation-associated trisomy.

Cytogenomic Microarray Analysis (CMA) detects imbalances in the human genome (copy number changes due to aneuploidy, deletions, or duplications) and genomic regions of homozygosity (copy neutral absence of heterozygosity) at high resolution. This test does not detect balanced rearrangements.NOTE: CMA is currently only offered for human specimens.
